Just try to rewrite "DEATH BY DIALOGUE"!

Hi again, HMNers -

We have a lovely bunch of coconuts in store for February. And we get to bring you our show on a special Friday the 13th! Every once in a while, a movie crosses our path that makes us say, "It's called what --?" Thankfully, that movie is 1988's "Death By Dialogue."

Another gem from the direct-to-VHS boom of the 1980s, the film concerns a group of teenagers headed out to the country for some spring break fun (because nothing says "party" like hanging around fields of dead grass and unkempt trees). They are staying at the home of one of the kids' uncle, a retired taxidermist. The uncle is also the unwilling guardian of a haunted movie script, which the kids eventually discover. Whoever reads the script will find themselves pursued and killed by sinister forces. The kids attempt to discover the nature of the curse before the script gets rid of all of them.

I know, right?!

The producers thought a big selling point would be to cast Ken Sagoes, the unexpected and hilarious star of "Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors." Even Ken could not dream his way out of this wonderfully ludicrous movie. Wait until you see the deadly heavy metal band (trailer is NSFW on account of boobies).

We are excited to have you come and riff the movie with us! We have one of the stars of the film scheduled to appear after the show for a Q&A. As always, we will have excellent stand-up comedy from some of L.A.'s best comics. There will be cheap snacks & drinks, and FREE POPCORN! Remember, the best one-liners of the night will win prizes. Get your tickets cheap in advance, and bear in mind the show is FRIDAY this month.

Stalk us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and via our email list. Make sure to get on it as we have a very special guest co-host planned for a future show, and the email list will get first crack at tickets.
